Funny thing is, since Whelo left, every year we have always worried about midfield, not saying it is not a worry, but both Giller and Jim G seem to have been able to get around it. So given that Jim has left Emmet out I reckon he has plan in place.

The biggest problem that mannion has is that is very left footed , as a result to easily blocked down when he shoots .The Kerry game suited him when he came on we threw caution to the wind and went for it

I think he’s a great impact player . But Ges not at Cons level . Con is flying in training . Bernard’s replacement in my view

Keep in mind, Fenton himself has been a bit off the pace in the league and was noticeably second best in the last 2 games against Kerry (David Moran).

To be honest I don’t it was so much that Moran outclassed Fenton in the last two games, but that Kerry got their tactics for midfield spot on. In both games (Tralee and the final), Jack Barry spend all his energy trying to negate Fenton in every way possible, and pretty much succeeded in his task, and that left Moran free to play his own game. Whoever ends up in midfield for us this year will have to do one of two jobs for us, either negate Moran in a similar fashion or keep Barry busy so Fenton can take Moran on as he has on more than a few occasions wiyh great success.

Dublin now have to adapt in my view. I agree we havnt shown our hand but I do think both Mayo and Kerry have found out our running game. Mayo may not have the forwards to fully exploit that but Kerry do. I do think we are still clearly better than the chasing pack but the midfield and the full forward line needs strength and pace.
